Kidambi Srikanth stuns Lin Dan to enter Denmark open quarterfinals

Date:

Kidambi Srikanth moved past former World No 1 Lin Dan of China 18-21, 21-17, 21-16 in the second round of the Denmark Open to enter men’s singles quarterfinals.

The 25-year old lost the first game after the two-time Olympic champion grabbed an early lead but the Indian maintained his superiority in the second and third games to keep his title defence hopes alive. In the quarterfinals, Srikanth will face compatriot Sameer Verma.

Sameer, who had beaten World no 2 Shi Yuqi in the first round, had pulled off a big win on Thursday (October 18) defeating Asian Games gold medallist Jonatan Christie 23-21, 6-21, 22-20 in 70 minutes. In the women’s doubles, Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy completed an excellent comeback to defeat world No 7 pair of So He Lee and Seung Chan Shin 18-21, 22-20, 21-18 in 61 minutes.
